Comprehensive Plan
In early 2005, the Town of Ballston, facing increasing residential and commercial development pressures, instituted a temporary moratorium to allow the community time to establish a vision and a direction for the future. To achieve a vision, the Town decided to take a comprehensive look at issues related to its continued growth and development. The Town’s primary concerns included ensuring the community retained its rural, small-town character, remained a great place to live, and that the area’s natural resources, open spaces, and agricultural land were protected.
The Town’s Comprehensive Plan (sometimes called the “Master Plan”) was completed in 2006. It was the result of numerous meetings, workshops, a resident survey, and a public hearing, all centered around obtaining input from residents, businesses, institutions, environmental interests and others. The Plan presents a coordinated vision for the future of Ballston, outlines actions to achieve the shared vision, and establishes a framework for community-wide efforts on plan participation.
The Comprehensive Plan is a lengthy document. It may be reviewed by clicking on the following link: Comprehensive Plan - Final Draft (12/2005)
The Comprehensive Plan is a flexible document that is intended to evolve as the community’s needs and desires change over time.
Please Note: The Final Draft of Comprehensive Plan is a large file. Paper copies are available for review at the Town Hall, the Ballston Spa Library and the Town of Ballston Community Library.
